What is the main goal of the RWP Program Guide?

The primary aim of the RWP Program Guide is to ensure safety and compliance for roadway workers. Safety is paramount in environments where workers are exposed to potential hazards, particularly on or near active railroads and roadways. The guide outlines protocols, best practices, and training required to safeguard the well-being of workers, reduce the risk of accidents, and promote a culture of safety within roadway projects. By establishing clear standards and procedures, the program helps to ensure that workers are prepared and equipped to handle the unique challenges they may face while working in such high-risk areas, ultimately fostering a safer work environment.
